Comfortable and good value

I've been after a flip helmet for a little while as I keep having to remove my helmet when ever I fill up at petrol stations. The HJC i91 is a comfortable helmet that's easy to flip up and shut again.

First helmet purchase

This is a great choice. I wanted the flexibility the design provides. Fits well and as a glasses wearer, it's so much easier as I don't have the faff of taking my glasses off to put the helmet on or taking it off.

The helmet is very comfortable, has good wind noise suppressing. Smooth inner movement of the sun shade. Could do with a slightly longer pull tap to unlock the chin strap.
Overall well pleased with this helmet, would buy another in a heart beat.

Heavy and noisy with soft padding
29 May 2025 by Anonymous
It’s quite a heavy helmet and it’s very noisy.
The internal padding is thick and soft which probably makes it fit a wider range of head shapes. However I’m worried that the thicker padding will make the helmet fit loosely once it breaks in more.

HJC i91 Flip helmet
22 May 2025 by Woody197
Great helmet. First time I've owned a flip front helmet but after owning one it will definitely not be the last. Perfect if you wear glasses and for bimbling through town yet also good when you have the "full face" down on longer faster runs. With ear plugs little to no difference in noise between this and full face helmet.

SBS staff were really helpful, making sure that I was happy with my purchase. I tried many helmets before the salesman got me the right fit. Ordered two in for me, and they were in the next day. Perfect helmet..thanks for your help and patience with me..would highly recommend to give sbs a try for your m/cycle needs. Thank you guys..

Great product, tight fit with a size small but bedded in very quickly to a consistent snig fit. Relatively lightweight for a modular helmet in this price range. Would recommend
